Pax6 dosage requirements in iris and ciliary body differentiation

Injuries of ciliary body and iris.

Transport and metabolism of pyridoxine in rabbit iris--ciliary body.

Isolated rabbit iris--ciliary body preparations were found to accumulate 3H-pyridoxine by a mechanism that was time- and temperature-dependent, saturable in part, but not altered by omission of oxygen or specific ions. Tissue accumulation was only partially energy-dependent, and metabolic inhibitors had only small effects. Other B6 vitamers markedly blocked accumulation. Metabolism of 3H-pyrido...

Diffuse malignant ring melanoma of the iris and ciliary body.

2 cases of diffuse malignant ring melanoma of the anterior uvea are presented. A correct clinical diagnosis led to enucleation in case 1, while in case 2, the eye was enucleated 2 years after anti-glaucomatous surgery.

Adenoma of the iris and ciliary body. Case report.

A case of rare tumor of the iris and ciliary body in a 24-year old woman is presented, which was diagnosed as adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary body epithelium. The diagnosis was confirmed immunohistochemically.

Mucinous adenocarcinoma metastatic to the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.

A 67-year-old woman presented with signs of severe intraocular inflammation and secondary glaucoma. The initial diagnosis was uveitis, and an anterior chamber paracentesis with cytological study of the aspirate failed to establish an aetiological diagnosis. After three trabeculectomies had failed to control the intraocular pressure, the blind eye was enucleated. On histopathological examination...
